Chapter 16
Eric unleashed all his fury on Christina. Obviously, he had warned her countless times that Wanda was his only bottom line. He also forbade her to provoke Wanda.
Yet, while pretending to agree with his rule in his presence, Christina had gone behind his back to antagonize Wanda time and time again.” This thought made Eric sneer. “From now on, I will stop all investment in you and you’re on your own”
Christina froze in shock. She did not understand why Eric would be so angry at her just because his neglected wife died.
With tears streaming down her face, she knelt on the ground and clutched Eric’s tight, even ignoring the fact she was pregnant. “Eric, please don’t do this to me. I’m carrying your child!” she pleaded. “I only wanted to give our baby a proper family, so I tried to make her file for divorce. I never meant to hurt her!”
Deep down, Eric knew that he was the one who killed Wanda. Yet, he deliberately deceived himself and channeled all his fury and guilt to Christina. Her words, however, tore away his facade, leaving him no choice but to confront the truth.
“You broke the rules first,” he snarled. I won’t tolerate your growing ambition!”
With disgust written all over his face, he kicked her to the floor.
Though she instinctively shielded her stomach, the sharp pain in her abdomen told her that her baby was about to leave her
Sure enough, not long after, the floor was covered in blood.B
Yet, the man who used to whisper his love to her in her ear was now standing coldly there. He only watched quietly while she was moaning in pain in a pool of blood.
It was only at this moment, that Christina realized that everything Eric had said before was a lie. She had been nothing more than a plaything for him, a tool to satisfy his desire.
Compared to Wanda, she was the most dispensable piece of a pawn on his board, However, she refused to accept this defeat so easily. Now that they had fallen out, she wanted to get some benefit from him.”
“I admit it. I told Wanda about us,” she spat out her words. Her voice trembled with hatred.
“Ask yourself, was I the one who forced you into this relationship?” she asked. “It was you who lusted after me. You were the one who abandoned her time and time again.
As Christina said that, she pointed at Ben who was cowering timidly in the corner. “You!” she hissed. “You couldn’t even tell who your real mother was the moment someone gave you a few toys and treats!!
“You both are surely father and son. You two are so selfish and gullible! Just small favors could trick you to the point you’ve lost your way.” Eric understood every word she said and it hit him like a hammer to the chest. His fists clenched and the knuckles turned white as rage boiled within him.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, his assistant’s call interrupted him, “Mr. Gordon, there’s a major issue at the company.”
